You use rapidement = vite = fast in another question !!!

If it is venir de + infinitive, is it je viens de se réveiller ? Or je viens de me réveiller ? 

Hello, 

If I were to say: I come from England, would it be

je viens d'Anglaterre 

In which case, I would use 'de' instead of 'en'

I am having a bit of a problem with the questions on my iPad.. about 50% of the time it jumps the second question and says that I have not answered it.. but cannot retake!

I find it difficult with the article 'de'.  I have reviewed the grammar lessons here to brush up my concepts but when reading online articles I still flounder. e.g.  In this article, why do we write la dangerosité du Covid-19, en cas d'opposition. Should it not be de Covid and de l'opposition? https://www.rfi.fr/fr/am%C3%A9riques/20210529-%C3%A9tats-unis-vaccination-des-plus-jeunes-la-difficult%C3%A9-de-convaincre-parents-et-adolescents. Thank you in advance for helping clarify.  

I've encountered a number of sentences in KwizIQ about "going to the ball." Is that something that is common in France? I'm wondering because I've only encountered a ball in the Cinderella fairy tale and not in real life. But maybe that's just the social milieu in which I live!
